A few times a few weeks ago actually. My buddy did his wakeboarding run, no issues. I go to do my run, the rope snaps about 15 feet from me. We tie it up, same thing, try it one more time with a better knot, and it works fine. Replaced it next time out. Not a fun experience.

Wait what? Your bindings were still on and your board started floating away from a rope break? That sounds more like your bindings were really loose and came off or the screws sheared off. I'm curious now, wtf did happen there?

Sorry man I should have been more clear, it wasnt from the rope breaking. I was blasting BS indy 180s into the flats and my homie told me I should try a Mute (Vandall Style) to blind. I took a raley cut at it, passed the handle, totally anticipated landing and caught my heel edge something fierce. When I landed I snapped the board which blew open the heel edge this caused a very abrupt sudden stop. I go bucked harder than I ever have before. I ripped both bindings off the board completely, inserts and all.
